You who pass by
Stop and look
Look at us, we are standing
Standing
Not on our knees

You are alive, we are survivors
Life is cruel, for some so beautiful
We have nothing or so little but your heart can
With a simple smile
Prevent our last breath

You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we are standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we are standing

Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees
Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees

Without you we are nothing, less than nothing
And nothing is worth the extended hand, extended in the early morning
There is so much love for us hidden in a "hello"
There is so much hope for us hidden in a "goodnight"

You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we are standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we are standing

Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees
Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees

Becoming children again, amazed at every moment
Every encounter grows us and changes our lives
We can surprise you, we have so much to teach you
We all have hidden talents
We want so much to show them to you
Be also actors of our happiness
Actors of society like you, on equal terms
Your heart is the solution, make the right resolution
With your good care and yes
We will go far, very far

You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we are standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, forever standing, oh

Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees
Standing, standing, standing, standing, standing
Standing, standing, standing, not on our knees, oh

Not on our knees
